With regard to the first question, this has come up a number of times following on from the Commissioner's remarks that other issues may emerge. I asked the Commissioner whether she was referring to specific issues. She said no, it was just a point she was making about examining past procedures and being intent on reform and that issues would now come into the public arena that had not come into the public arena before. She was making that remark in a general way.

The Deputy asked about any other information I might have on scandals or issues of governance. There is no particular issue. The Commissioner may have been referring to the Templemore report also and I understand that is being published today or tomorrow. That report clearly raises serious governance issues and will be referred to the Comptroller and Auditor General and to the Committee of Public Accounts. Other than that, there is not anything specific to which I would refer with regard to the second question.
